Just Starting Out!

[Orrick]

Bought FFXIV awhile back, just started getting interested in it so here I am. Just created my character on Selbina, starting city Ul'dah, as a Gladiator. I'm completely at a loss as to where to start though, what things should I do first? Right now I've just been killing Star Marmots and monkeying around in the city. Thanks for the help ^.^

P.S. ~ I've been told I should join a linkshell, does anyone know what the largest/most active linkshell is in Selbina?

Am remaking my char in selbina as i putting this here if you like we can meet up and do leves together we can easy get 18 with both our leves if you like to join me.

Let me know your ingame name and when i make my Char i'll /tell you.

no offense meant, but I play solo. If you want to friend me though, by all means. In-game is Orrick Ballard.

Understood but you do understand this is not a solo base game right? unlike WoW,rift where you pretty much can solo your way up to max level without issue? FFXIV take time to level up i try to solo and can't even get 20 and that doing behest and you can't really fight mobs because there to spread out so you have to walk around for hours at end to get 100-300+sp

Even the dungeon they going to add it wont be like WoW where you can set it up and it random teleport you inside with players you have to look for them and set them up yourself. But at least the game can be more solo then FFXI was lol.

But anyway good luck too you.

yeah, I've heard it is a pretty team dependent game, but darned if I won't try. I may come crawling back after I get my butt handed to me though. What's your in-game name?

Quests, leves, crafting.... rinse, wash, and repeat.

[Frisque]

If you haven't already done so, do your storyline quests in Ul'dah. You should have Court in the Sands (http://ffxiv.zam.com/en/quest.html?ffxivquest=110010) Immediately.

After that is complete, when you hit rank 8 you can do Golden Sacrifices (http://ffxiv.zam.com/en/quest.html?ffxivquest=110010). In all honestly, between exploring, killing random mobs, and a few guildleves (available @ the Adventurer's guild) it shouldn't take you too long to hit rank 8.

This will start you off with a little bit of "seed money" so you can experiment with some a couple of other classes. Tip: if you're interested in doing a craft or gathering class, you do not need to get the secondary tool right away if it's a bank-breaker.

Good luck!

will do friend, see you in-game.
